We have previously seen some news online about e-cigarettes exploding, and in the comments of those news articles, there are often messages stating that using a ready-made atomizer on a mechanical mod can lead to explosions. If the atomizer is not chosen properly, there can indeed be safety hazards. Today, let's discuss whether using a ready-made atomizer on a mechanical mod can actually cause an explosion.
The 510 connector of the atomizer has the middle part as the positive terminal by default, while the outer ring is the negative terminal. Some atomizers have a protruding positive terminal, while others have the positive and negative terminals flush, which is what we commonly refer to as flat-top and protruding-top atomizers.
Due to the design of the mechanical mod, which connects the battery directly to the atomizer's 510 connector, the current passes through the heating wire and returns to the battery's negative terminal through the body of the mechanical mod, generating vapor from the atomizer. This creates a complete closed circuit. Therefore, a mechanical mod must use an atomizer with a protruding positive terminal, which is what we commonly refer to as a protruding-top atomizer. Here, I provide an image of the battery placed inside the mechanical mod.
If by mistake a flat-top atomizer is chosen, the positive and negative terminals of the battery and atomizer will connect simultaneously, causing a short circuit when the fire button is pressed. As the battery continues to heat up and the load increases, an explosion is inevitable. Even if you buy the highest quality battery, you cannot escape the impending disaster.
In regular use, to avoid short circuits in the mechanical mod, aside from the battery being damaged, we also need to pay attention when purchasing and using atomizers. Whether it is a ready-made atomizer or a DIY atomizer, as long as we choose the correct 510 connector, we can use it with confidence.
